Start your morning with an adventure above the clouds! Meet your friendly guide in Pigadia and journey by car to the foothills near Aperi, where our scenic hike begins. As we ascend the mountain path, you’ll be surrounded by wildflowers, fragrant herbs, and the gentle sounds of Karpathian nature.
After about an hour’s steady climb, we’ll reach the charming Profitis Ilias church—perched at the summit and offering breathtaking panoramic views. Gaze out over the sparkling turquoise waters of Achata beach and spot the villages of Menetes, Pigadia, Othos, Volada, and Aperi, each nestled into the landscape below.
Step inside the peaceful chapel, soak up the cool shade, and enjoy a well-deserved break—this is the perfect spot to catch your breath, snap some photos, and savor the island’s tranquil beauty.
Refreshed, we’ll make our gentle descent back to Aperi, where our vehicle awaits to return us to Pigadia. This hike is a beautiful blend of local history, natural wonders, and unforgettable vistas—ideal for nature lovers and explorers of all levels.
